Dear Diary

Here i am writing another depressing page of my life. The last diary I had was all about that guy who makes every girl dream. I finished him yesterday. And now you'll suffer like him.

You'll be written, scratched and your new pages will turn to be death. You will marry with the name Uchiha Madara. He will destroy you like he did…to me.

So everything started when I was in High school. I was a naïve teenager, who fell in love with him.

Uchiha Madara.

Who wouldn't?

"Hey Megumi wait for me."

"Huh? Oh hey Deidara-kun. How are you?" I greeted my friend.

"I was looking for you. Would like you to come with me to Star night." He asked me as we started to walk.

"Hummm I don't know Deidara. Tomorrow I have an important test."

"Oh come on. It will be fun." he insisted.

"I can't." I said clutching my books against my chest.

"Madara will be there. I think you're just scared." Deidara mocked leaning to whisper in my ear.

"I-I'm n-not" i lied.

"Yeah yeah. You're not a good liar. Meet me in my house. See ya."

"NO WAI- *sighs* I need to learn how to lie. I will go to Hidan. He's such a bicth." Sighing deeply i went to class.

When i entered, there were a few guys there. I took my usual seat and 20 minutes after, the classroom was full of students. Then Sasuke entered and the girls started to squeal making Shikamaru waking with a jolt. "Troublesome women." I smiled and starting to pay attention to Anko. The biology teacher.

The day had passed pretty quickly. Maybe it's because I'm too focused on Deidara's invitation. Every time each girl would focus her eyes on him, the popular ones would create a great scene. Not that I'm scared. It's just; i'm not the type of person who likes to be involved in conflicts.

"Hey Megumi." Tenten greeted me. Then I realized I was spacing out. "Why are you eating alone?" she asked as she placed her lunchbox on the wooden table.

"I just wanted to be alone, for a minute!"

"Oh do you want me to leave, instead?" she asked softly.

"No, no! It's okay." Then after a god 15 minutes of talking, Ino came squealing "Do you girls know that Sasuke will be in Star night? *squeal*" I had to cover my ears since Sakura and Karin came and joined her.

"Are you going to the club, Megumi?"

"W-what-!?"

"I know that Deidara invited you. He's one of Madara's friends." Sakura stated as she and the other two figthed to sit beside me.

"Hu-hu actually n-no-."

"You will take me, cuz I'm your best friend." Karin said while Ino pushed and they started to argue, calling attentions, especially his attention. I saw him whispering something to Sasuke's ear, as Itachi just snorted. Sasuke's face turned bored, but then he held his rare interested face.

I wonder why?

"Girls, stop." I said as their eyes sparkled. "Please." I said taking a deep breath as Tenten licked her thumb that was covered with ketchup.

"So?" they asked.

"So?" Their angry voices came in a wine, placing their hands on their hips. "Are you spacing out again? Who will you take, with you?" Ino asked.

How annoying. Before I could reply, Deidara appeared next to me. "So, after school?" I glanced at the Uchihas table and their eyes were focused on my table. No to sound cocky, but I felt special.

It's very but very rare to get the Uchihas attention. I blushed as the other three waited. "After school." I finally said.

"I will bring a friend with me."

"To me, it's okay yeah."

"Tenten?" My best friend looked at me and asked while placing a hand on her chest.

"Me?"

"Course. You're my best friend." She smiled. Well if I'm going to share this piece of heaven I will share it with my best friend.

"Tsk. Megumi you're so-!"

"Glad you're coming." Sasuke said as he smirked. I ignored the hateful glares I was receiving and I started to talk with Sasuke. He's a good guy, but not my type.

"See you there, then." He walked way, as his fangirls started to pursue him.

"Don't be late, yeah." then Deidara took his leave too.

"Ow, thank you Megu. I'm so glad you invited me. I thought that you were mad, since I didn't invite you to my birthday party."

"Oh, come on Tenten. That was on fourth gray." I said while she giggled.

"I know, I know." Then she started to eat.

"Psst. Tenten." I called.

"Hm?" she said with her mouth full of food. I whispered lowly trying to be discrete

"Is he looking at me?"

Yeah I was starting to feel too much special. But hey, when a girl who's not popular and nobody notes her, a bit of attention is good.

Tenten glanced and I slammed my hand on my forehead. "Yes." She whispered

"Don't you know the meaning of unnoticed?" I whispered a bit too loud. Then as I glanced at him, our eyes locked. He didn't make any expression, and my face didn't betray anyone. We stayed like that for a quiet while.

"Megu?" I heard someone calling me. Then he got up and left with his friends with the legion of fangirls. Three of them glared their usual poisons daggers at me. But who cares. I'm used to it.

"MEGU?"

"Huh. What?" I asked as I jumped from my seat. "What?"

"Why are you always spacing out?" Kiba asked while Tenten got silent.

Megumi stopped her writing and closed the diary.

Knock Knock Knock

"Megumi, its time for your medicine." The doctor said while two nurses and one guard entered my chamber. "I don't want to. I don't want." Megumi said as her black hair covered her face. The room was white and there was only a window with protections, a small bed, a desk and some kid's story's books.

"Megumi, dear. " Her personal nurse called brushing some strings of her hair from her face "You need to take the medicine. So you can be cured and go home."

Shaking her head like a little girl she said. "No. No, I'm fine"

The four people looked at each other. "But dear, you need to get better, so you could see your parents."

"They don't like me." she said as the doctor prepared the injection.

"Don't talk like that. Your parents love, you."

"They abandoned me. I'm better here."

"Megumi look at me. Megumi." the medic said while she looked at him innocently "You need to cure yourself. Don't you miss your parents?"

Nod.

"So, you don't want to make them suffer." He cleaned her arm with cotton soaked with alcohol.

"If you behave, I will give you a new Diary."

"No. Miss Tarumi buys me new ones. Miss-! AHHHHHHH…STOP" She struggled as she felt the needle penetrating her skin. The two nurses and the guard were holding her as the doctor did his job.

"There, there. Shhh, it's okay dear." The guard caressed her hair while she stiffed in the nurse chest.

"Good girl" The medic panted her bare feet. Megumi seated on the corner of her white room as they left while locking the door.

Her green pale eyes drifted to her diary that rested on top of the desk. Before grabbing it she heard a voice calling her. She went to her little window of her door and she tried to see her friend.

She was Michaela Tarumi. Her mother is the only one who visits her, and brings her the diaries.

"Psst. Hey Megumi." she whispered.

"Yes?" Megumi whispered.

"Can you see the slender man?" she asked while half of her face could be seen.

Rolling her eyes to everywhere, Megumi continued to whisper. "No. And you?"

"Yes. His arms transformed into shadow branches."

"Are you okay? Did he hurt? I can borrow you some lanterns."

"No. I'm fine, thank you. I talked to him and he said he wouldn't hurt me for now."

"Please be careful, he is being fake." Megumi pressed her face harder against the window bars.

"Don't worry, Megumi." Michaela continued. "I will send a letter to the president. He will help the world to know his existence. "

"Be careful, my friend, he is in everywhere." Then she went to her diary. Michaela's room was like Megumi's, but she didn't have books but lots and lots of flashlights and pictures of slender man.

To make things clear. Michaela was an adorable veterinary. She went crazy when her husband and son died on a train crash. So her mother took care of her, since her father abandoned her before she was even born.

Megumi's on the other side went crazy because of Madara. She abandoned High school. Her parents are owners of a big farm. Her father told her if she stepped out of the house, she will no longer be welcome there.

And he would not recognize her as his child. Her parents were very traditional, so despite loving her daughter her mother played her father's role. He didn't want her to go to the city, because it's was the devil place…..

And he was right.

They never visited her. Michaela's mother, being a gentle woman, took care of Megumi. Treating her like a daughter.

Grabbing her diary she started to write again.

Where was i?

Oh!

I was so happy. A girl like me would never have a chance. That was all who mattered to me. "Earth, calls Megu, Earth calls Megu." kiba waved his hand in front of me.

"Yes, Kiba?"

He laughed. "Dreamer."

"What are you going to wear?" Tenten asked as Kiba looked at me and got up leaving.

"Ohhh, girl's talk, girl's talk. I'm out!"

"No wait Kiba. You can help, us choosing the vests."

"NO." He screamed far away from us.

Laughs

"Hey." Naruto greeted us. He heard Kiba's voice, before we could attack him.

"RUN NARUTO! IT'S GIRLs TALK."

"GRAAAAAAA." Naruto ran away before I could have a hold on him.

"Tsk, boy's" Tenten said as I laughed. Then the bell rang and everyone went to their class.

"Tenten?"

"Gym. You?"

"English."

Then we separated. As I walked I saw Shino and I greeted him "HI! Shino."

…..

"Huh? Shino?"

…..

"Are you mad?"

…

"OK, then." I turned my back as I heard him speaking. "I advice you, to not have too many expectations, about Madara."

"What?" I asked facing him.

"You heard me. He's nothing like you think he is." He turned to leave.

"Shino, I'm not-!"

"That's what your mouth says." He then left me there alone.

"What's his problem?"

"Aren't you late for class?" I turned around with a smile, but then I turned my back to the owner of the voice.

Madara.

Blushing madly he turned around so he could face me. "Why are you blushing, Megumi?"

'He knows my name?'

"I-I-I'm n-not blushing."

"I think you're spending too much time with Hinata." he said amused.

Oh Gosh.

"I-I have t-to go." I tried to leave but the next thing i felt was his arm around my shoulders.

"Let's take a walk."

"W-What?"

"It's just a skip. It won't hurt come." He pushed me forward.

'No, no, no.' My feet started to walk by they own. I couldn't believe I was heading to my personal destruction.

Madara.

Reviews? :/
